Anything else before I order?

Went ahead and ordered everything. Total came out to $127, which is less than I thought it would be!
Should come in soon, hopefully on Monday.

If you want to see my process on rescaling my 20g long to clear out the 29g, you can check out my journal: https://www.fishforums.net/threads/aquascaper-20g.468653/

Ok, finally got my 29g taken down, although it’s not cleaned out.
Today my plan to get all of the sand/muck out, clean the equipment, and clean the tank.

My Amazon order should get here today! Super pumped.
I won’t be able to actually set it up, because I won’t be able to get the salt until tomorrow night. Then I have work on Wednesday. Tank will probably get actually setup on Thursday.

Will will eventually purchase an RO filter (around $60) once I get the funds. It depends on how much I work and what my pay looks like.
I might purchase before I get actual livestock, not sure yet...

Man I wish my Amazon orders would arrive that quick. It takes my orders over a week to arrive.Ok, finally got my 29g taken down, although it’s not cleaned out.

Dang, where are you located? Here, Amazon is 1-2 days.
Sand is already delivered (though I haven't picked it up yet) and the others will be delivered by end of day. The light will come in tomorrow.

It takes 10-14 days for mail to get delivered to my place, and it takes that long regardless of where it is posted from. I was waiting for mail from the real estate agent and it took forever. I eventually posted some envelopes to myself and dated each one. Low and behold it took 10-14 days for an envelope to get to my place when it was posted at the mail box 2km up the road.
Parcels are a bit quicker depending on who they come from. I got some stuff from people on Ebay and had the items within 4-5 days. I got some stuff from Lego over east (same city as the people from Ebay) and it took 23 days. And the freight from Ebay was 1/3 the price of the freight from Lego. Lego got an ear bashin for that

Some items came in!!
I will be getting the 5g bucket and salt tomorrow night. I have work the next day, so I probably won’t be able to get the tank setup until Thursday.
Sand is still moist, and expiration date isn’t for another year, so the bacteria should still be alive.

Tasks for right now:
@Colin_T, because the media/bb in my HOB filter is still good, should I just let it dry out, because I’ll be growing more bacteria with the bottled stuff?
- Powerhead
- Hydrometer
- Sand
- Bottled bacteria
- NLS food
- Light

Tasks for right now:
- Get the 29g completely taken down (all progress on that can be found here)
- Clean the equipment

Tank is completely drained! Man it feels good to say that. 
Space looks very empty:
The tank is in the tub (a towel is under it so the tub doesn’t damage the tank) awaiting cleaning:
Rescued 60+ cherry shrimp. Took about 40 minutes, but I’m finally done
This tank really is big, much bigger than I thought. It makes my 10g look like a fish bowl.
After I get it cleaned, it’s going back on the bench!

Got it emptied and replaced!
I just need to do minor cleaning inside, but other than that, I’m nearly through.

I’m going to call my LFS soon (either tonight or tomorrow) to see how much their live rock is. I hope it’s not that much. ?
